Dear Radio Friend, This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, Sputnik Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK Japan. http://www.outfarpress.com/swr190201.mp3
From GERMANY- Former British MP George Galloway interviewed Ben Chacko editor of the Morning Star. They discuss the western media coverage of events in Venezuela as wall-to-wall propaganda, begun when Hugo Chavez was president. They talk about the rapid shift back to right-wing politics in many Latin American nations, most notably in Brazil which Guiado fully supports. There is the possibility of a civil war with US intervention, like Syria and Vietnam. Does this conflict serve as a distraction from the investigation of the Trump administration, a new version of wag the dog? Why are the new leaders of the left in the US not questioning what many in the world see as an attempted coup?
From RUSSIA- On Monday of this week, there was an attack on the Venezuelan military in Caracas. On Tuesday, US VP Pence posted a video message online telling opposition leaders in Venezuela that they have full support in overthrowing elected President Maduro. On Wednesday, one term leader of the national assembly, Juan Guaido, declared himself to be the interim president- moments later Trump officially recognized him- Cuba, Mexico, and others nations were outraged. The Cuban President called it a coup intended to serve US interests- Russia and China made similar statements. A Director at the Cuban Foreign Ministry stated the US wants to impose a colonial government servile to US interests.
From CUBA- First a Viewpoint on the European support for the attempted overthrow of the leader of Venezuela. Historically European nations enslaved the indigenous populations of Latin America, claiming a Divine Right to steal their resources, to enrich the development of Europe. Following centuries of struggle, Latin Americans won their sovereignty back. What right does the EU have to interfere in their politics? Thousands of Hondurans are protesting last years elections. In Belgium and France ten of thousands took to the streets to demand that their governments take action on climate change.
From JAPAN- China has condemned the US for filing criminal charges against Huawei Technology and its CFO. The US has gathered forces from 9 African nations for military exercises in East Africa. Lawyers in NY have reenacted the legal battle of a second generation Japanese American who challenged the constitutionality of the US internment policy during WW2.
